The MCU has given us some of the most heart-wrenching scenes in its movies over the years. Be it Spider-Man: No Way Home’s last scene or the death of Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame, each one was unique and left a lasting impression on the fans. But recently the fans have taken to Twitter to claim that Yondu’s death in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was even sadder than Tony Stark’s sacrifice.
James Gunn is known for creating both happiest as well as some of the most heartbreaking moments in his movies. The same occurred with Michael Rooker’s Yondu when the character was nearly known to any normal moviegoer before GoTG but took no time to become a fan favorite.

Yondu’s death held superior to Iron Man’s sacrifice
There was hardly anyone who didn’t feel anything when the battle with the Mad Titan and his army ended with Robert Downey Jr.‘s character saying the iconic “I… am… Iron Man”. It impacted the entire fanbase as they witnessed the end of the journey of one of the most memorable characters in the movies.
Since then, both the Marvel executives as well as Downey Jr. still face the question of any potential comeback to the MCU canon. The impact is surely huge. But recently, a fan took a unique take on the emotional scenes shown in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and claimed that Yondu’s death felt more personal than Tony Stark’s. While not everyone agreed with the notion, it gained an immense amount of support and a major part of the fandom came forward to support it.
Many fans pointed out that the Avengers: Endgame moment left a huge impact on the MCU as a whole but Yondu’s death left almost everyone with moist eyes and a heavy heart. In the scene where Yondu gives his suit and delivers the dialogue: “He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.” still remains rent-free in the heads of the fans. Even the funeral scene gained a lot of appreciation among the fans who couldn’t talk less about the beauty of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy.
